Feature changed by: Jiri Srain <jsrain@novell.com> Feature #303700, revision 18 Title: Ability to log all configuration changes done via YaST - openSUSE-11.1: Candidate + openSUSE-11.1: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory - SLED-11: Candidate + SLED-11: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory - SLES-11: Candidate + SLES-11: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Matthias Eckermann <mge@novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Provide the ability to log all configuration changes done via YaST. Additionally, in this mode an admin would be prompted to document what was the nature/purpose of the change as the module is being closed, akin to commit messages in a versioning system. Documentation Impact: The new log file needs to be documentated in admin guide. Discussion: #1: Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi@novell.com> (2008-04-30 15:27:04) note fate 303688 related: packaging CFT. I am not sure CFT is the right way to provide this functionality, but a consideration is that an admin using CFT will probably log both manual-editing and YaST-driven conf changes via the same tool. #2: Stanislav Visnovsky <visnov@novell.com> (2008-06-03 12:40:41) Duncan, Jiri, this might be an architectural change, please, look into this. Also, we might need to define scope of which changes we are able to track. #3: Jiri Srain <jsrain@novell.com> (2008-07-07 10:45:35) Martin, please, have a look at possibilities to record all changes and suggest an infrastructure. Federico, we will hardly be able to make all modules record all the changes they do. Could you, please, give us some priorities for SLE11? #6: Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi@novell.com> (2008-07-28 19:58:20) (reply to #3) Sure: network, users+groups would be a start. #4: Martin Vidner <mvidner@novell.com> (2008-07-08 11:44:54) This looks like a superset of feature 100386. Note that that one was downgraded because it is large (it requires touching all YaST modules). #5: Stanislav Visnovsky <visnov@novell.com> (2008-07-08 12:08:56) (reply to #4) Please, look into enabling of the stuff, not covering all YaST modules. #7: Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi@novell.com> (2008-07-28 19:59:34) (reply to #5) Indeed. Look at this architecturally. Also please keep in mind that the maintainer of CFT will help in getting that too to work on SLE (eventually, not for 11 GA timeframe), so please keep in mind these logs could feed into CFT eventually (and we would not want to change too much to make that happen :-) + #8: Jiri Srain <jsrain@novell.com> (2008-09-11 09:34:17) + Infrastructure is in, module using it will come later. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=303700
